I can't say enough good with the collaborations between a wonderful nonprofits called the lost Angels.. seeing the CZinger here for the first time. I had paid for a membership, but I guess things changed and I lost that yearly subscription. Doesn't matter. I'm just sad that they are removing the balcony because that's where a lot of professional drifters would come to test out their cars. Big Willow will definitely remain as one of the best courses in the country. I would put this place maybe only second to Laguna Seca.

The gift shop is a real highlight--open every time I've been, and always stocked with awesome gear and unique souvenirs to take home. For a raceway, it's impressively well-organized and always a pleasure to visit. I'll definitely keep making the drive back whenever I can. If you're into cars or racing, it's absolutely worth a visit!

I have been here a couple of times for private track events on the smaller track, here at the streets of Willow. Before I even start, as you exit the freeway grab your food there, and grab it for lunch and dinner too. Unless your a smartie pants like me and pack a cooler full of water, bananas, snacks and ect. See the further way from the freeway you get, the further away from food you get. And you dont want to be hungry, do you? Once in a purple moon do they have a snack truck open. Once you get there, expect to pay to get in. Whether your racing or spectating, there is a $10 entry fee, Unless your on the VIP list. Luckily, I am usually on it. Dogs are free, and must be leashed at all times. Now, expect to be there all morning/day and into the late afternoon. I usually get here around 6:00am and we stay till the end. This is where you may get very upset, so you may just want to close your eyes now. There is NO WIFI/Connection up here. Especially if your with Sprint. So don't expect to be able to yelp or check in because chances are, it wont happen. There will be no FBing or instagraming, unless you have killer service. Bring some magazines, a book, read the paper or in my case my Kindle. There are plenty of portapotties, which I dont know if they are clean or not, since I never attempted to go. I hold it. Sometimes the main building is open and if the water is turned on you can use that bathroom. But always prepare for the worse. It gets cold there, then it gets hot here. So dress in layers, lots of layers. Bring blankets if you need too. You will get dirty, so no sandals or cutesy shoes. Its okay to wear boots, thats what I do. For shade bring a pop up tent, but it does get super windy and the LAST thing you want is to have a fly away tent and have your tent hit someones car. Power, there is really no power here. We bring a generator, then I find all these random devices plugged into our power strip. Bring your own power peeps. We also bring our own sound system and play DJ/Announcer for our events because that's what we do. So if you have to bring only 3 things with you, bring warmth, food and something pleasurable and you will be fine. If you do plan on racing or riding with an instructor you need a HELMET. Fun place to spend the day and watch some guys and gals have fun on the track/

Not only is Willow Springs one of the most filmed racetracks used for television commercials and…read morefeature films but it's darn fun to drive. Tucked against the hills of Lancaster, California, about an hour north of Los Angeles, it's an interesting track that offers elevation changes and high average speeds making it truly fast. I've used this track for teaching, racing, testing and for just having fun. It's been titled "The fastest track in the west" and apparently is a California Point of Historical Interest. "Big Willow", as the main track is nicknamed, allows you to reach speeds of 145mph and upward. I did mention that's in a corner, right? And no, diapers or barf bags are not supplied. :) There are several other tracks on the same property, even a go-kart track. This gives you many different figurations to choose from and should suit your needs no matter what type of vehicle you're driving. So bring your Porsche, Lambo, Mazda, Toyota, Subaru, Yugo or Gremlin, they will have a track set-up for you. Oh, and for all you umbrella girls, sadly there's no grass or pretty grounds to be photographed with, it is a desert. However, CGI can add them easily. :) This is by far the best track in close proximity to Los Angeles.

Even Nikki Hayden can be seen there making track records on his supermoto. Admission is only $30, and they just require that you wear proper attire--but there are no equipment checks like at other race tracks. You can even camp there over night. But, bring your own food and water as it's several miles from a grocery store etc.

Beginner/Advance friendly race track for drifting and gripping…read more I started and learned how to drift at this track. I've been to the balcony and prefer Grange for it's technical turns which is perfect for underpowered cars to monsters hp cars. The owner, Jim, is very nice and delivers pizzas for $15 a pie. There are many car clubs that host events in particular SlideFactoryInc (www.slidefactory.org). Overall the venue is a fun, safe, and great for drifting.

If your a race fan; as of…read more2025; you will get many opportunity to come out here and watch local Legend Kevin Harvick including his son at 12 years of age; along with the Huddleston family racing which are all among legends of the sport throughout the year. It's a great time, a super fun atmosphere that's here to stay all year long. I bet by 2026/2027 this place will have all racing of all types and most likely close to of not 7 days a week. It's definitely what Bakersfield is known for and what a blast it is out here. They definitely go out of there way to get the entire crowd involved from track walk one and greet and meet with drivers, after races pit parties and so much more. It's definitely a great time with a great location literally right off I-5. Staff is awesome all the way around with even bringing in local food truck vendors. Beer is cold and served in 24oz cans, bring your own koozie for them and the staff will put the beer in your koozie prior to opening them. Most of the time their is some sort of fireworks and when they around holidays or big event races, their is usually a good firework show afterwards. It's definitely a very interactive experience that you typically won't find anywhere else!!!
